THE GERMAN BLOCKADE
STRONG DISPLEASURE
REPLY TO THE UNITED STATES
(Rec. March 6, 0.35 a.m.)
London, March 5. Berlin reports: —Count Reventlow, in an article m the "Deutsche Tage Zeitung," expressc-s strong displeasure at Germany's reply to the United States Blockade Note, and declares lhat according to this reply a submarine would let a merchantman pass under the English flag with courteous bows, or perhaps salute the flag. To proceed according to international rules would mean the abandoning tho search and possible capture of neutral ships or the capture of liostije ships. Such' a course for a. German submarine is out of the question. If England promised to stop the use of false flags—he (joes not believe England would, keep her promise—Germany in any case would be tho loser. The ''Die Post" says the fact that the United States' alleged proposals based on upright friendliness and were submitted in the interests of humanity lyere enough to make one suspicious from the start-.
REWARDS OFFERED. TO GERMAN SUBMARINES, (Rec. March 6, 0.35 a.m.) Paris, March 5. A German 'Admiral,' after inspecting submarines, offered a large reward for each merchantman sunk and a life pension to each man if it is a transport.
